Before you come to class, you'd be smart to pre-read the Act at http://nfs.sparknotes.com/macbeth/ as this site has the Shakspearean English and the Modern English side-by-side. You'll get MUCH more out of class if you do this. Also, if you forget your text at school you can always use the site to practice for your Readers' Theatre.
